the detachment of pseudo-unclehood.

being 14 years older than one's sister is surely much better.

Perhaps the greater involvement may give you some advantage but I was still just barely on the wrong side of thirty (that'd be late twenties) which I would say gave me an advantage over being 16. Although in your case you may well have been more advanced at 16 than I was at 28.

Can we assume this was after you studied for a Uniperversity degree?

I suppose you could, but you would be slightly amiss doing so. I had studied but performed the remarkable feat of dropping out, flunking out and getting kicked out in the same semester in my first run for the ruses, and had not yet begun my second, ultimately successful, attempt at same.

Marry, here’s grace and a codpiece;
that’s a wise man and a fool…

But I will tarry: the fool will stay
And let the wise man fly.
The knave turns fool that runs away
The fool no knave, perdy.

And remember, A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees.

Yo, slithy and welcome:

I've also seen it spelled as tut-tut. [helpful look]

Never argue with a fool – people might not know the difference.
